One Pot Chili

We love chili in our house, it’s the perfect easy meal with a side of homestyle honey cornbread. This One Pot Homemade Chili Recipe takes no time at all to assemble, and can be made in a Crock Pot or simmer on the stove for hours while you sit back and relax. You’ll be pulling this recipe out for busy weeks, a lazy stay-at-home weekend supper, game days, and weekend BBQ’s. It always ends up simmering away at our house for so many special occasions, and without fail a tradition on Super Bowl Sunday and Halloween night. I hope you enjoy!

Just made this for dinner tonight. My son kept saying, ” I love this. There’s nothing about this I don’t like!” – Marisa

Toppings

Shredded cheddar cheese

Sour cream

Sliced scallions

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven or stock pot add 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions; sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic; sauté for just a few minutes making sure not to burn the garlic. Add ground beef and cook until nicely browned; skim off some of the fat, leaving some for added flavor.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of sliced scallions. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

1. Smart Pantry Tip: Keep an extra can of tomato sauce or carton of beef stock in the pantry to use as an added splash of liquid if needed. Diced jalapeño and a dash of tabasco sauce can be added for more heat.
2. Crock Pot: You can easily place all the ingredients after sautéing onions, garlic, and browning ground beef into a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours, (P.S. sauté onions, garlic, and brown ground beef the night before, assemble everything into the Crock Pot before work.)
3. Freezes well.
